Troubleshooting
The needle does not move.
Ensure the unit was not dropped or subjected to physical impact. If it is brand new, check if there is any protective film covering the display.
The humidity reading seems incorrect.
Verify the unit is not positioned directly under a heat lamp or inside a water feature. If the enclosure is heavily planted, ensure the gauge is not obstructed by foliage.
The unit keeps falling off the wall.
Clean the vivarium surface with rubbing alcohol to remove any grease or wax, ensure it is completely dry, and re-apply the mounting tape.

Setup, Compatibility & Care
To install, ensure the surface of the vivarium wall is clean and dry to allow the adhesive backing to adhere securely. Press firmly for several seconds upon application. The hygrometer is compatible with glass, plastic, and wooden vivariums. Regarding care, never submerge the unit in water or expose it to direct steam or heavy water spray, as this can damage the internal sensing mechanism. If the lens becomes dusty, wipe it gently with a dry, soft microfiber cloth to maintain visibility. Avoid using chemical cleaners or solvents on the plastic face, as these may cause scratching or clouding.
